Abstract
The 1 5 1Eu and 57Fe resonances have been used to study magnetic exchange interactions in the orthorhombic perovskite solid solution EuFe1 –xCoxO3(O < x < 1). The replacement of a neighbouring Fe3+ ion by diamagnetic Co3+ ion results in a reduction in the flux density of the supertransferred hyperfine field at the 57Fe nucleus of 1.02 ± 0.05 T extrapolated to 0 K. The 1 5 1Eu resonance is considerably broadened by substitution; this effect is proved to be of magnetic origin, and a detailed model is proposed which explains the data quantitatively. The flux density of the molecular exchange field at the 1 5 1Eu nucleus when a neighbouring Fe3+ atom is substituted by Co3+ is expressed by the exchange constant (β/k)Bo m(0)= 3.2 ± 0.1 K.
